~Ielbourne, 25th September, 1922.
I have the honor to submit to Your Excellency the Report of the Minister of Public Instruetion for the years ended 30th June, 1921, and 30th June, 1922.
Slate :schools in Operation in Victoria.

Total number of pupils under instmdiun IJT the Department's schools 225,290.
In the schools of the Free Kindergarten lTnion, which receives a Government subsirh- of £1,000 a vear, there are 1 ,48\J pupils under six years of age. · '
ELJ~MEN'l'ARY ScHooL.~.
The most insistent problem is the providing of school a<'commodation for the eongested population of the metropolitan area. When it is remembered that the population of greater Melbourne, which is now 766,520, has increased at an average annual rate of 17,000 for the past ten years, the clif!iculty will be realized. The metropolitan inspectors report overcrowding in several of the city schools. There are steady demands, also, for schools in the newlv·settled areas in the north-west, and in irrigation and soldier settlements. •
•
Building operations for the year include the following :
New buildings, 26. Additions to existing buildings, 14. A new technical school at W onthaggi. Workshops at the Maryborough Technical School. Woodwork and cookery rooms, 3. Schools remodelled, 12. Old buildings removed to form new schools, 13. Ninety-eight (98) sites for new schools, purchased at a total cost of £24,356. Eight (8) residences for teachers, purchased at a total cost of £5,435. New
residence erected, 1 ; remodelled, 2 ; enlarged, 2. Dual desks provided, 4,400.
The loan of £250,000, which was made available lastlear for school buildings, has proved quite inadequate. Building costs are still inflate Schools to the number of 422 are conducted wholly or partly in public halls and Sunday-school buildings throughout the State, at an aggregate rental of £7,190. This rental represents interest at 6 per cent. on £119,833.
The hygienic conditions of school life in leased buildings, moreover, cannot be regarded as satisfactory. The conditions of work in a large hall impose a strain on pupils and teachers. The Government is anxious that there should be no delay in providing well-lighted and well-ventilated schools.
To expedite the establishment of rural schools, it is proposed to have portable buildings made in seetions in Melbourne or in one of the large provincial towns. It is satisfactory to know that the buildings erected by the Department are proving to be well adapted for their purpose. Teachers and parents, too, are sparing no pains in beautifying the schoolgrounds. The inspector of the Kerang District, ;yfr. A. :\.f. Barry, bears the follovving testimony :--" Schoolgronnds are well fenced, and, as a rule, there is sufficient space for recreative purposes and for gardens and tree-planting. It is the exception to find grounds that are not well provided with shade trees. Gardens and plots for experimental purposes Me also much in evidence, and, as a result, the schoolgrounds are often the most attractive features in the townships. 'rhe great majority of schools are also provided with shelter pavilions, and, with the help of the Public Works officer for the district, these are now of suitable design. It is pleasing to see the number of tennis courts and basket-ball courts, cricket pitches, &c., in the grounds around the schools, the teachers nowadays being seized with the fact that fresh air and games are strong factors in the all-round educational development of their pupils. New buildings of the latest models are common in these northern districts, and no one can cavil at the generosity of the Department in its endeavors to provide fine, roomy schools for the children. In several instances, it is necessary to use halls and rooms provided by local effort. These are situated in places where the average attendance is small and does not, for the time being, justify the erection of new buildings. The standard of decoration and equipment shows steady improvement, the general effect in many schools being very pleasing."
A large factor in the cost of elementary education is the establishment and upkeep of small rural schools. Of 2,305 schools, there are no fewer than 1,063 with an attendance of twenty or less, 341. with an attendance of twelve or less, and 114 part-time schools, in which the enrolment is eight to eleven in each branch.
Thouo-h the expense of these small schools is considerable, ranging from £16 to £20 per pup if, it is recognized that settlers are entitled to proper school facilities. Teachers who are college-trained take their first appointments in rural schools. Parents in rernot<! districts thus have the assurance that the teachers of their children are well qualified.
'l'here is no occasion to doubt the general efficiency of rural-school educ.ation ir: Victoria. A knowledge of rural-~chool standards in other countries, the opiuions of over6ea visitors, and the reports of inspecting offisers confirm this opinion.
SCHOOL SITES AND PLAYGROUNDS. It is regrettable that the foresight which reserved such generous areas for public
parks and gardens did not extend to similar provision for children's playgrounds. Organized games and school athletics are, apart from health considerations, a factor in an adequate education. School sites in -"ielhourne and in some provincial tovv-ns are absurdly small. Progressive teachers have done something to remedy this disability by obtaining the use of local ovals or other areas for school games. The teachers, and especially the officials forming the State Schools' Athletic Association, are to be commended for the satisfactory way in which they have organized inter-school contests in cricket and football for the boys, and rounders and basket-ball for the girls.
PUBLIC PLAYGROUNDS.
The public-spirited policy of the City Council and of several suburban councils in providing children's playgrounds in their municipalities is gratifying. These playgrounds are to be found in West Melbourne (2), Carlton, South l\lelbourne (2), and Collingwood. At the Brighton-road School, the sehool committee and the St. Kilda Council are ambitious of making their playground the best in :VIelbourne. An energetic committee of citizens at Elsternwick are preparing and equipping an area of ground adjoining the local school. K orthcote and Caulfield Councils are considering similar enterprises.
i-lECONDARY ScHoOLS.
There has been an increasing demand for secondary education in the country districts, as shown by some 35 applications for the establishment of higher elementary schools. These applications have been accompanied by offers of local contributions of £1,000 to £1,250. The requests, which have all more or less merit, will be dealt with sympathetically, as funds permit.
High schools provide a broad course of secondary education for pupils from 12 to 18 years of age. The course includes the ordinary subjects of the secondary-school <JUrricnlum leading up to the Intermediate and Leaving Certificate examinations, and, in addition, woodwork, cookery, agricultural science, and commercial subjects. The higher elementary schools take pupils up to the standard of the Intermediate Certificate. The establishment of high schools and higher-elementary schools in country towns has done much to bring secondary education within the reach of many who would otherwise have been deprived of it. 'J'hese schools have undoubtedly played an important part in the policy of decentralization.
The attendance at the Melbourne High School and the University High School overtaxes the accommodation. The most insistent question in secondary education is the provision of additional high sehools for l\1elbourne. Although one-half of the population of Victoria is concentrated in the metropolitan area, ~Ielboume has only five high schools as compared with 26 in the country.
It is a matter for congratulation that provision has now been made for the secondary instruction by correspondence of country pupils of .Merit Certificate standard who are not within reach of a high or a higher-elementary school. The instruction will extend up to the standard of the Intermediate Certificate. 'When it is remembered that children in isolated localities are also receiving postal tuition to the standard of the J\.Ierit Certifieate, it is evident that, considerable educational facilities have been made available for country children.
TECHNICAL SCHOOLS.
In the junior schools, pupils are enrolled at 12 and 13 years of age for a course extending over three years. Instruction in English subjects is carried on in conjunction with mathematics and the more technical subjects.
The curriculum is designed to qualify for entrance to the senior schools. A number of the pupils are attracted by the ·wages offered by employers, and leave to become apprentices. A fair percentage continue their education by attendance at evening classes. The question of the part-time attendance of apprentices at day school is an industrial problem that still awaits solution.
The courses in the senior schools include general engineering, architecture, tmde subjects, and metallurgy.
6
ScnooLs oF Do~!ESTic ARTs.
'fhese sehools are popular with parents whose daughters must become wage-earners or take up householrl <luties on lenving school. The girls transfer from the elementary school at about the age o£ 12 years, am!, niong with their training in eookery, lanndrywork, udvanced needlework, and general housewifery, their education is carried on in English subjects. Employers willingly accept exit pupils as apprentices at a higher wage than that of the ordinary beginner. There mnst be a wider extension of this training for domestic life and motherhood when financial considerations permit.
Apart from this special course in mothercraft, girls in high schools and elementary schools receive practical instruction in cookery for a period of six months.
SPECIAl. SCHOOLS.
SchooiJJ for Deaf Mutes and for the Blind. A beneficent work is being carried on in the special schools for children who have
to face life with a mental or bodily infirmity. The dumb learn to converse, and the blind to see with the inward eye. Both types thus become educable ; and life, instead of being a blank, is made full and interesting. Parents of blind or dumb children err greatly if they do not send them at an early age to one of these schools.
Schools for the F eeble-rm:nded.
Mental deficients reveal unsuspected aptitudes as the result of patient and skilful treatment by their teachers. Quite a number of subnormal children, whose cases were apparently hopeless, leave the special schools at Bell-street. and .\Iontague with ability to earn their living or take an intelligent part in home duties. A large number of the mentally afflicted are still unprovided for both in the eity and the country. The number of such children in Victoria agrees wit.h the statistics of other countries, Mmely, between one and two per cent. of the population. A child who is much below the normal in intelligence eannot be sent alone from diHtsnt suburbs, while all aftlict.ed country children are denied t.he uocessarv remedial treatment. A residential school with an industl'ial side, on the model of tl:ie institution in Vinl'htnd, Kew Jersey, provides the solution of these difficulties. It is recognized that, for deficients, there should be such a residential school. Though the question of present cost may cause delay, it is realized that, in the interests of the community, the accomplishment of such a scheme must be regarded as one of first importance.
In Glasgow, which is acknowledged as the forerunner in providing instruction for defective children, the needs have thus been stated:-" Yl'ith regard to mental defect, experience has proved the desirability of several developments. The most important of these are~ (a) the establishment in Glasgow of a branch of the Central Association for the Care of the Mentally Defective; (b) the further extension of after-care for the children who have passed through special classes or special schools; (c) a bolder departure from the traditional curriculum of the primary schools. . . . . To brmg this about, it will be necessary to carry fmther the eentralization of t.he older feeble minded pupils, the provision of schools where varied practical and industrial occupations are possible, especially gardening and the eare of animals, and, finally, the psyclwlogieal and social training of the teachers."
In educational communities generally, developed opinion is that mental defectives should be segregated and not allowed to reproduce their kind.
The following is a summary of the recommendations of a committee appointed by the Victorian C ovornment to investigate the prohlem of dealing with feeble~ minded children :~·
1. The immediate establishment of a child-study clink within the Teachers' College for the purpose of training a staff of observers and teachers of special schools, and of teachers to take charge of ungraded or tutorial classes.
2. The extension of the present systems of special tutorial classes in large schools for dull and backward rupils, and of special schools for the <lefinit~ly feeble-minded but stil educable defectives whose education is not possible in tutorial classes at elementary schools.
7
3. The establishJ:Ilent of a residential institutional school for the reception of both paymg and non-paying inmates. This is essential, because of the impossibility of fully meeting the needs of the State by a system of day sohools.
4. A joint parl!am~ntary and expert inquiry int.o t.he subject of the necessary new legislatiOn. .
School for Epileptics. The school for epileptic children at Cla vton is affording remedial service to the
30 afflicted children in attendance. }lore than the usual amount of floor space was allowed in building the school. The work of the teachers is of a trying character, but it is faced with resoluteness and patience. · ·
Open-air School. The school at Black burn for amemics selected by the school medical officers from
congested suburbs is located among native trees. When the weather permits, the instruction is given out-of-doors. Pupils are taken for three to six months aecording to the state of their health. A midday meal is provided, and there are rest periods. Increased weight and vitality almost invariably result.
The Teaehing.
SUPPLY OF TEACHERS.
On the staff of 4,556 classified teachers in the elementary schools, there is not any great disparity between the sexes, 42 per cent. being men and 58 per cent women. This ratio, however, cannot he long maintained, as, of the 1,765 junior teachers, only 16 per cent. are 1nales. The preponderance of females was caused by the unattractive remuneration for youths in the initial stage of their service, contrasted with the immediately higher salaries available for educated lads in the commercial world. Tht> improved prospects under the Act passed in l!J20, however, are now reducing the disproportion to some extent. It is important that there should be a due proportion of men in the teaching service. This can be said without implying any want of recognition of the worth of women's work.
The following table shows how the relative proportion of the sexes has varied since 1900 :--

PROSPECTS IN THE TEACHING SERVICE.
The prospects were never so good. Parents ca1~not ~xpect that their sons ~nd daughters should receive a living wage 1~ the apprentJCesh~p stage o~ any prof~sswn: If they are prepared to t1de them over th1s term, the followmg course IS open to ) outh~ of ordinary ability and application:---
(a) Four vears from the age of 12, in a high school at a fee of £6 per annum when o~er l4 years of age, exemptions being granted in cases of indigence. .
(b) Practical experience as a junior teacher (male) at a commenemg salary of £72, rising to £108 in the third year.
8
(c) A Fifth-class teacher at £156, with yearly increments to £312. Fourth-class, £336 to £384. 'rhird-class, £408 to £456 .. Second-class, £480 to £528. First-class, £552 to £600.
The corresponding salaries for women are :Fifth-class, £120 to £252. Fourth-class, £264 to £312. Third-class, £324 to £372. Second-class, £384 to £420.
The rate of progress, as in other spheres of work, depends on the degree of efficiency and the acquirement of the qualifications necessary for the higher posts. Students who spend a satisfactory year at the Teachers' College, where allowances are granted, begin as Fifth-class teachers at £204 instead of at £156. They are also better equipped on the literary side for subsequent promotion.
Those who take the secondary course at the College for three years obtain University qualifications leading to positions in the high schools at higher rates of salary. Matriculated teachers are eligible, after some years of service in the country. for nomination to a diploma course of three years at the UniverRity of Melbourne.
INDIRECT l<JDUCATION.
Under the scheme known as" Home Projects," a number of children have taken up various forms of occupation outside of school hours. On plots made available by local farmers, the pupils cultivate cereals or vegetables. Other children have been entrusted with the rearing of animals. In both cases, systematic debit and credit accounts are kept. At the Brighton-road School, St. Kilda, the home project took the form of hobby work. Several hundred scholars exhibited their handrwork in a hall, and parentll and eitizens attended in large numbers. The articles ranged from toy aeroplanes and mateh-box houses to cabinet work, meccano models, and dynamo-driven pumps. On the girls' side, there were many commendable cookery and needlework exhibits.
Horticulture is becoming increasingly popular. It is pleasing to find at one country school after another well-kept plots bright with bloo!Il9. Seeds and plants are sent from the school nursery at Oakleigh to all schools that become affiliated by the payment of a nominal fee.
The Gould League of Bird-lovers of Victoria has the co-operation of the school pupils. Thousands of entries were sent from boys and girls to the last annual bird-day celebration. Your Excellency and I.ady Stradbroke attended a recent exhibition in Melbourne, and were interested in the bird-dra'\'1,-ings and bird-naming from lantern slides, and in the imitation of bird-calls by the young competitors.
A League of Kindness was formed last year in association with the Victorian Society for the Protection of Animals. On payment of threepence for membership, the children received a card of artistic design, on which they signed a pledge to be kind to all living creatures, and to protect them as far as possible from cruelty. The present membership is 38,300. An interesting incident occurred as the result of the influence of the League. Three girls in Ballarat sent a joint letter to the police coD!ltables who had secured a conviction for cruelty to a horse in the Benalla District. The tone of the reply from the constables was admirable.
. Thrift is being encouraged in a number of schools by the use of the penny savings bank.
A system of international correspondence is developing in the schools. Young people in England, France, Canada, and America exchange letters, picture-cards, and other souvenirs with Victorian childreu.
A considerable number of scholars have taken part in coml?etitive examinations in health and temperance, temperance physiology, and in competitiOns instituted by the Victoria League, The I:eague of Empire, and the Imperial League in subjects bearing on the achievements and the growth of Bmpire. It is noticeable that the very large majo-rity of competitors are from country schools. Why metropolitan schools are not.
adequately represented is difficult to determine. The study involved in these competitions mUJlt be of considerable value to the scholars in opening up sources of information, and in gpnerating a taste for following up educative lines of reading in after-life.
High schools have had their magazines for some time. The movement has now extended to the elementary schools. In ten inspedorial districts, illUJltrated school journals are published. The reading matter iueludes words of advice on educational eourses to parents and scholars from inspectors and teachers, accounts of early explorers and settlers, original stories and verse from teachers and pupils, a competitive page, and numerous itelllil of school news. The magazines sell freely and easily pay their cost. They provide a strong link between the schools and the homes. School interest is stimulated.
All these movement,s have a humanizing influence in their encouragement of healthy interest. Being outside the formal requirements of the cur:ricnlum, they are "not in the bond ". They are none the less educative. however. Those who are responsible for their organization are rendering service to the community.
School Committees.
The change from the former Hoard of Advice system, under which one hoard had to do with a number of schools in a district., to the institution of a committee for each school has had very sa.tisfadory results. From their inception in Hill, school committees have provided in cash some £50,000 for school improvements. This gratifying spirit is still manifest. The benefkial influence of the connnittees is shown by their active co-operation in such school funet.ions as t.he commemomtion of the King's Birthday, Anzac Day, Empire Day, Discovery Day. and Arbor Day. As the result of entertainments locally organized, large funds have been made available for pianos, sewing machines, libraries, teaching equipment, and for site improvements. District Inspector Mr. Edgar Davey writes : " With the assistance of the school committees and parents, nearly all the desks in the district schools have been provided with hacks, to the delight of the chi[dren." Echool committees were zealous in their efforts to aid the Department's War Relief Fund.
Exchange of Teachers.
Under the system of interchange of teachers with the London County Council authorities, a Victorian teacher has spent one year in J,ondon schools, seven are at present in London, and three other teac,hers are about to sail. Three teachers from London have arrived for a year's service in Melbourne schools.
Negotiations are being eonducted with Canada for similar interchanges. There can be no doubt as to the educative effect of the system on those who participate in it.
Medica! Inspection.
The vacancies created by the resignation of Drs. Harvey Sutton and Charles J. Simpson were filled by the appointment of Dr. William L Heyward, JI.LD., Ch.B., and Dr. Henry C. Varley, M.B., B.S. The latter resigned, and his place was taken by Dr. Charles Cunningham, !lf.B., B.S. During the year, 7,000 children and 600 teachers were examined. The value of medical inspection Is shown by the diminishing percentage of defects found in the high schools and higher elementary schools which have been visited. This improved condition is due to the remedial action taken by parents on being notified of the treatment necessary for their children.
Medical inspection extends to persistent defaulters from school. The cause of truancy is occasionally found to be an unsuspected defect in sight or hearing which prevents the child from keeping up \\>-ith his class-mates, and school life thus becomes distasteful.
The inadequacy of the present staff of four medical officers is recognized. The doctors cannot compass even the metropolitan schools in their examinations. The country elementary schools cannot he vi~ited at alL
The attendance of young patients at the Dental Clinic in the Domain-road reaches 650 in each month. Experienee has shown that an important time for dental tfeatment is during the period of six to eight years of age, at which time the eruption of the first permanent teeth occurs. The children attend for treatment in groups of 20 to 25 in charge of a teacher. A class-room is provided, so that the children may be kept U!lefully employed while waiting their turn.
LO
Record of War Service.
The Department's memorial book of war serviee is a handsome volume of 304 pages. It is of medium quarto size, bound in a rich brown cloth with gold letterino, and fully illustrate? with reproductions of original drawings and photographs. The book has been distributed to schools, to the next of kin of teachem who fell, and to the returned men in the service. A summary shows that 752 officers of the Department enlisted, of whom 146 fell in action or died from the effects of war service. .More than 100 obtained honors and decorations, including, in one instance, the Victoria Cross. The schools subscribed approxin1ately £440,000 in cash for war relief, and sent 400,000 articles of comfort to Australians at the front. The school-children also provided food . eomforts of the aggregate of 460 tons for the military hospitals in Victoria. The careers of the men who fell are set out and are accompanied by fine portraits. Briefer accounts and smaller portraits are given of men who returned. There are interesting chapters on the organization for the supply of comforts and on the relief work undertaken by town and country schools. The book closes with a complete list of school subscriptions and a balan<>,e-sheet. The strenuons work of preparing and editing the book was done by Senior Inspector Mr. C. R Long, assisted by Mr. Gilbert J\!1. Wallace, Sub-editor of Sehool Pttblications. The art section was carried out by :VIr. P. M. Carew Smyth, the Art Inspector. The expense of publication was borne in substantial pmt by the Commonwealth Government, in recognition of the war relief work done by children and Depart mental officers.
Ex-Service Men. Favorable reports are being received of the teachers who returned from active
service. District Inspector Mr. Dooley states:-" It is pleasing to report that the returned
soldier-teachers have settled down to their work again quite satisfactorily. I had quite expect_ed that, in a good many instances, it would take some time for men to get into their stride after the stress of the war, but, happily, the fact is otherwise. Indeed, with some of the returned men, there is quite a gain in their teaching power, owing to their wide outlook and to the toughening of their fibre through their military training and . ., experience.·
General Expenditure. The cost of education has risen in ten years from £925,000 to £1,912,000. The
results achieved in national education amply justify the increase. Education Departments have, in the past, been thoughtlessly called "non-productive". An educational conscience, quickened by the logic of facts, has caused any such sentiment to become unpopular. There is a more general recognition that the output of an Education Department is equipment for citizenship.
While a comparatively new country must necessarily devote a considerable portion of its revenue to the development of Sjleh public utilities as railway extension, irrigation, closer settlement, and the like, it is equally true that national progress in any real sense is strictly conditioned by the education of the people. Great Britain has recognized this fundamental truth, and, although her economic problems are immeasurably greater than ours, the mother country is spending extra millions in educating her young people, the reserve capital of her nation. Sinc,e 1914, the cost of education in England has increased by no 1688 a sum than £40,000,000. In welcoming the Bill that was chiefly responsible for this fonvard move, a member of the House of Commons, speaking on behalf of labor, spoke of it as the best that had been introdueed into the British Parliament by any education department. It would, he asserted, put more intelligence into labor and help to remedy what the country had suffered in the past through lack of educational facilities for the mass of the people. Tn fact, the demand for the Bill and the support it received came mainly from the organized workers, who realized to what an extent prosperity depended upon the passing of the measure.
The educational temper of our State is unmistakable. The demand for continued education persists beyond the financial resources immediately available.
Education is the only sure corrective of social unrest, and the only gnarant;ee of a stable community. As the standard of education rises, sections of the people will become more mutually sympathetic, and will come to understand and reject the pernicious propagandism of extremists. Our Empire, it is clainied, is the world-wide insurance of democracy; but it must be an educated democracy.

After allowance has been made for duplicate enrolment caused by the <J.ttendam·.e of children at both State schools and registered schools during the year, it appears that the number of individual children at school dming the year was as follows:-
Under 6 years of age Between 6 and 14 years of age Above 14 years of age
17,1521 229,188 ~278,654 32,314)
If there is deducted the number (1) of children taught at home; (2) of those who, having passed the prescribed examination, have obtained a certificate of exemption· and have left school; and (3) of those who, through some bodily or mental infirmity, were prennted from attending school, it will be seen that. the number whose educ.ation is being wholly neglected is by no mean~ great.

ln the foregoing table, each type of school has been treated as a distinct system. To arrive at the nu m her of individuals under instruction in State schools during the year 1921, a deduction must be made on account of pupils who may hav" attended more than one of the types of the schools mentioned. After allowing for such duplicate enrolments, it is estimated that the number of pupils under instru<'tiou in State schools (technical school' excepterl) dur·ing the yeat· wa" 230,027.

NUMBER m' INDIVIDUAL CHILDREN L'NDER INSTRUCTION AT ScHOOL.
XUmbN o!
T:·<H:b<'n<,
After allowance has been made for duplicate enrolment caused by the attendance of children at both State schools and registered schools during the year, it appears that the number of individual children at school during the year was as follows:--
Under 6 yearl! of age 17 .7fi~l Between 6 and 14 ye<l.rs of age 234,246 ~ 284,277 Above l4 years of age 32,262 J
If there is deducted the number (1) of children taught at home; (2) of those who, having passed the prescribed examination, have obtained a certificate of exemption and have left school; and (3) of those who, througl1 some bodily or mental infirmity, were prevented from attending school, it will be seen that the number whose edLwation is heing wholly neglected iA by no mean,; great.

Fifty Years of Free Education
The yt'lll' U!22 Imn·ks the attainment of the juhilce of free and eompnl""''!. education in Vietoria. The occasion will he fittingly commemorated hy an exhibition of the work of all types of ~;chools in the f'tatt>, from the remote "hush school" to tht> largest high school and tedmicnl i!Choo\ in the metropolis. There (·1m be no douht that the dis11lay of tlte output of our schools will he a revelatiou to the general public. It will fhrnish an assurance that national edueation in tl.is Stnte b being dirf'cted with efliciency and foresight.
In taking a hackwa1·d glance, it is significant to notite that, iu 187:!, there were 1,043 school" attended by 144,(•00 pupils, and that tht- expeudittm· 011
education f("· tlmt .vear wa.; £!31,000. No ;econdar,v educatiou was provided hy the State. \In m· pupils ceased their schooling when they were ti·mu I o to J 3 years of ng<', aft(•r lw.ving obtained a certificate of a low standard.
25
In 1897, twentv-five vears later, when the annuAl cost of education wa~ £6lii,OOO, there was still no secondary State education. Young peoplP continued to driit into more or lei;s unskilled forms of employment.
At thP prPsent time, after a further period of twcnty-iive years, education under State contml is carried on in 2,458 schools with a total enrolment of 2 7 5,0tl0 pupils. In 1 iO of these schools, various forms of higher education are provided for 24,000 pupils. These facilities for continued education must represent a eonsidcrable reinforcem:nt to the educated citizensitip of this Staw.
This great advanee began twenty years ago with the appointmt'nt of the present Director of Education. In m,v political career of 33 years, there is nothing that I am able I<) reg~nl with more satisfitction than the r:reation of the office of Director of Education in 1902, when [ was Premier, and the happy choice made in the selection of Mr. Frank Tate, C.YI.G. I con."'ratnlate myself, too. that, as Minister of Education in 19:!2, I am associated wit'b the jubilee of free education in this State. ·
